Welcome to Habatat Galleries - Michigan 2009 auction. Because of popular demand and the extraordinary pieces that have became available, we are offering for the first time a second auction in a two year period. Last year we primarily featured the Mike and Anne Belkin collection.
This year we have works from a dozen collections, spanning over a 30 year period. Many of these objects have a substantial provenance and each has been carefully chosen to represent the most significant work made by the artist during the era in which it was created. Please enjoy the catalogue and we look forward to your participation. |
